Schematic Diagram LM35 Smart Heater Controller Project
The LM35 temperature sensor (IC1) is a precision device that provides an analog output voltage proportional to the temperature in degrees Celsius. The output voltage typically ranges from 0 mV at 0°C to 10 mV per degree Celsius. This characteristic allows for easy interfacing with the BiMOS Op-amp CA3140 (IC2), which is configured to amplify the output signal from the LM35. The op-amp can be set up in a non-inverting configuration to enhance the sensitivity of the temperature measurement.
The CA3140 is selected for its high input impedance and low offset voltage, making it suitable for precision applications. The op-amp's output is connected to the gate of the Triac BT136 (T1), which acts as a solid-state switch. When the temperature sensed by the LM35 exceeds a predetermined threshold, the op-amp output will trigger the Triac, allowing current to flow through the connected resistive heating element.
The Triac BT136 is capable of handling high power levels, making it ideal for controlling heating devices. Its ability to conduct current in both directions allows for efficient control of AC loads, which is essential in heating applications. Proper snubber circuits may be incorporated to protect the Triac from voltage spikes and ensure reliable operation.
Overall, this schematic provides a straightforward solution for temperature-controlled heating applications, combining the precision of the LM35 with the robust switching capabilities of the BT136 Triac, all regulated by the CA3140 op-amp.LM35 Smart Heater Controller SchematicMinuscule circuit of the electronic heater controller presented here is built around the renowned 3-Pin Integrated Temperature Sensor LM35 (IC1) from NSC.
